Frequently Asked Questions

Booking

On The Day

After The Wedding

HOW DO WE BOOK YOU AS OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?

Before booking a client, I always make sure to meet up and have a chat over a cup of coffee about their special day and their plans for it. I think one of the most important things about hiring a professional photographer is getting someone who can trust and whose personalities match your own. Your photographer is going to spend the day with you, so it’s important you get along and can have some fun together.

IS THERE A DEPOSIT?

I take a £500 booking payment to secure your date, and it is deducted from the overall bill. This payment is non-refundable.

DO YOU TRAVEL?

I love to travel both domestically and abroad. Next year I have weddings in Europe, South America and in the Caribbean which I’m super excited for.

HOW LONG WILL YOU STAY AT THE WEDDING?

Each wedding collection comes with a set amount of time that I’ll spend with you on your day. These range from 6 hours to all day covering the bridal preparations in the morning all the way up to crazy dancing in the evening.

DO YOU TAKE COLOUR AND BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS?

I love black and white Photographs, so I provide a copy of both colour and black and white of every final image on the wedding USB.

WHAT DO I DO IF I’M CAMERA SHY OR DON’T LIKE POSING?

Almost all of my wedding couples say this to me, and you know what… I hate posed photos too! My style is documentary which means I take candid, natural photos in the moment as it’s happening. I will usually do 10/15 minutes of posed photos after the ceremony and again at sunset (you’ve paid for a fantastic venue for your wedding, so we want to make the most out of it). These photos are very loosely posed in as much as I’ll ask you to grab hold of your partner and hug them, we’ll see what happens and capture the natural and genuine emotions of being a newlywed.

DO YOU TAKE GROUP PHOTOS AT WEDDINGS?

If you would like a few group photos to have a record of everyone who was in attendance, then that’s great. A good number is 4 or 5. Otherwise, it’ll take ages to organise everyone, and people get tired of lots of photos – not what they want to do when the canapes are being served.

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS ON THE WEDDING DAY?

As a professional wedding photographer, it’s my job to always be prepared and have a backup plan. It’s my job to know all the best spots come rain or shine and to have scouted the venue ahead of time just in case. This is the difference between hiring a professional and paying a friend or family member. You’ll be getting years of experience in high-pressure situations so that your day runs smooth like clockwork. I always carry a set of white umbrellas in my car as well just in case!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET OUR PICTURES AFTER THE WEDDING?

I deliver the online gallery and viewing session in person within two weeks of the wedding depending on honeymoon schedules etc.

HOW DO WE DESIGN OUR WEDDING ALBUM AND WHAT ALBUMS DO YOU OFFER?

I offer a range of hand made albums in a variety of textile and leather bindings. At the viewing session, we will talk through the various design choices and pick your favourite photos for the pages.
